- gwr 4110 finally returned to steam after 3 years if restoration and 58 years since it last steamed. The locomotive was ment to undergo steaming tests the day before but a injector leak delayed this for a day but the loco successfully underwent tests today without a hitch.
Congratulations to all those involved in bringing this lovely engine back to life. I am old enough to remember when steam locomotives were used on a daily basis and witnessed their twilight years.
A wonderful achievement.
Always good to see a steam engine brought back to life
From the opening scene you can see you’ve not restored it, but created a living, breathing being. The word heroes is hardly adequate for what you have achieved.
Thank you!!
There’s always a certain magic to bringing a locomotive back to life and it is always beautiful!
Fantastic to see something come back to steam after so long, Steve . 👍👍
Nice to see this after 3 years of work!
Yes it's brilliant!
lovely to see another one of these tank locos up and running. Like all the other ex gwr locos, taken for granted when i was i kid as they were so common. memories of them several times pulling a broken down diesel with an express passenger train.!
Magnificent sights & sounds 👍👌🌟
Oh yes they were!
Always amazing to see alocomotive fresh out of restoration. Can't wait to see it on passenger services!
It's definitely amazing, fingers crossed it'll be hauling some coaches soon!
Congratulations to all involved in reactivating this beautiful locomotive. Your handiwork is first class and a great credit to you.
I,m very happy to see 4110 was brought back to steam again after 58 years of her retirement in british railways
Looks and sounds like new. Excellent job guys.
Thanks it is going to be a perfect loco in service!
To see another locomotive from the days of my youth restored to working order is a magnificent sight. Congratulations to all those involved in this labour of love. The GWR prairies are probably the perfect locomotive for a heritage railway.
It's amazing and the loco will be perfect both at cranmore and the dsr
Wow so this GWR Large Parairie hasn't been in steam since 1965? If so then it was definitely worth restoring it
Oh it was definitely worth it!
Would love to see it at The Bluebell at some point!
Well it'll be a star where ever it goes!
Good video, nice to see it under steam again :)
Thanks it was amazing, 3 years of hard work payed off
Looks fantastic, done a great job on it. I take it this is the East Somerset Railway?
Thanks, yes it's at the esr running around the shed yard
@@twonkfieldrailways4110 I used to work as a Shunter at Stoke Gifford and then Pz. I worked with a Driver called Jimmy Madden in the late 70/80s at Pz who used to drive the Locos there.
It's always great to see another engine from the 'we'll get to it' siding actually gain steam again
Yep it's definitely gone from a wreck to a success
My favourite loco in the world!
Its Mine too, now!
Can almost smell that, the steam the hot oil and the smoke, delicious. Well done to all concerned.
A 4-6-2 tank running again superb.
Wow first time since 1965 for 4110 to return to steam
We call him Vick in the blue train with friends universe
Cool
Well done on restoring it to steam again. Pity it is not in the correct livery.
that loco used to belong to us at southall railway centre in the 80s,the only original part is the chassis everything else was a pile of rust and loads of parts missing,
It's had new tanks and bunker, I imagine alot of the smaller bits came from other locos (at least one wheelset came from Foxcot Manor). Its got the boiler it arrived with but I don't know if that was what it had ex Barry or not (certainly not original). But at least it's complete now. Thanks for watching!
I was a member of the GWRPG from almost the beginning for about 30 years - fantastic that 4110 is now back in steam! Had the GWRPG continued, and kept 4110, I don't think it would have ever got back into steam.
@@CaseyJonesNumber1 thats right, everyone was fixing their cars and vans and concentrating on the Birkenhead peckitt
@@petersmith4455 don't remember the cars, but Birkenhead was at least in working order previously, so not a full restoration. The GWRPG really lacked the skills, facilities and equipment to fully restore 4110 (eg.Tyseley carried out work on the chassis), hence why ex-Barry 9682 was a paid-for restoration (at Swindon) - the group could never have done the work itself. ps.I'm going to the ESR gala on 19th March.
At 08:00 there is Sentinel PBA 39 it looks like a shunter type, is that is if what it is? And I'm still learning all stuff so I'm just guessing here, from playing Train Sim Games :))
And yes I have always liked the steam locomotives, Would love to see more running these days.
Yes that's our main shunter. Built by sentinel which used to make interesting geared steam engines but turned to diesels when rolls royce took over, so it is truly the rolls Royce of locomotives. Luckily we actually have quite a few steam railways in the UK and it looks like they won't die out anytime soon.
@@twonkfieldrailways4110 Thank you for getting back to me, I appreciate it veery much, Now that is one shunter I would really like to see in a Sim game Be it TSW2 or Train Sim Classic. Would be a great way to keep it a live not just in the real world. :))
@@GenX-Gamore thats alright its great to encourage people who want to learn! I'm sure someone will make one in train simulator one day, they're definitely interested locos!
P B A. Port of Bristol authority
excellent
Welcome back 4110.
Certainly returning in style
Is that the locomotive that Arthur from Thomas The Tank Engine is based on or am I thinking of a different locomotive? It's still cool to see this locomotive return!
Arthur is based off an LMS Ivatt Class 2 Tank
We restored 41313 for the Isle of Wight which was a ivatt 2!
British engineering skills to the forefront. Should be GWR colours.
I think the plain br green is a nice change from either gwr green or br lined
I've never heard of the Twonkfield Railway. Where is it?
It's in my bedroom, I named the channel after my layout 'little twonkfield'
@@twonkfieldrailways4110 It would help if you could say in the video description where it was shot.
By any chance will it return to Paington and Dartmouth?
It's on loan for a few years but then it'll be back in dartmouth
Amazing like it
"I LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!"
POGGERS
When she is in full operation, will she be in GWR colors, or will she be in BR colors?
Br unlined green, late crest
@@twonkfieldrailways4110 cool. Thanks.
Needs to loose the number on the smokebox door.
Naa, it looks great!
@@twonkfieldrailways4110 Really needs a load of rust and soot all over, plus maybe some light accident damage, and leaking steam pipes to be truly authentic with that piece of crap on the smoke box door.
@@p.istaker8862 or maybe it could just look nice?
@@twonkfieldrailways4110 OK😀
Since 1965?
